At Tools For Motivation, our main focus is providing done-for-you content to save you the time/effort/hassle of creating everything from scratch.
However, simply buying PLR content does not eliminate the importance of getting good at creating your own, unique material that highlights and demonstrates your expertise.
In this lesson, I want to show you how you can use PLR as a tool to extract awesome content from your own brain that showcases your knowledge.
Sometimes you need to create content for a specific purpose:
For example, if you are selling a 3 week webinar series, you have to create the content for each week (like slides and hand outs) and then deliver the content on your chosen platform.
Other times you might just want to create content and decide how to use it later (the focus of this lesson/video):
If the content is in line with what you sell, this will always be worth doing because content can be used in so many different ways.
For example, I did a WordPress webinar forever ago. The presentation became a video, a slide deck, a transcript with tip sheet. I used it on youtube, within products, as bonus content, even as the basis for emails I was writing to my audience.
Getting Good At Sharing Your Advice:
Today I want to show you an exercise that will not only help you pump out content, but will help you get better at extracting good material from your own head. And we are going to use PLR as a catalyst.
Watch the following video (and see below for a summary of the process I cover in this video)
The Job:
Create a short video that lets you share valuable advice based on your topic of expertise.
The Outcome:
Turn this into an in-depth piece of content that can be used in MANY ways in your business.
The Inputs:
You need 2 things…
1 – A topic you know well and feel confident giving advice about
2 – A PLR article on the same topic
The Process:
Extract 3-5 points from the article that you can talk about
(Share a point, Tell a story (before and after), Give tips to do it better)
Put those points into a simple slide deck
Record yourself presenting the 3-5 topics
Upload to Youtube
Use the transcribe feature to build your extended piece of content
- Tip 1: remove time stamps
- Tip 2: remove line spacing by doing a Find/Replace
- Search for all instances of ^p
- Replace with <blank>
* Save the video, audio, slides and text output to be used as content you can publish *

Thanks again, Justin for an outstanding video. You have such fantastic ideas and you are so generous about sharing them with your audience. You really give fantastic value and make people feel they want to support you and purchase your products. I find myself endlessly deleting PLR product emails that I receive – but I always open yours to see what you’re doing. You’re really a cut above the rest. All the best and wishing you continued success.
Thank you so much for the kind words Shelley. It definitely motivates us to keep creating content and training when we know it is actually helping people like yourself out 🙂 All the best to you too!

This was excellent!!! I got some great ideas on how to use my PLR while I was watching this! Thank you so much.
I recently realized how much I was missing as I haven’t been going to the site weekly to grab the free PLR…. I will know more now and won’t miss any more! I was disappointed today when I went to grab the Time Management piece as that is a subject that I speak on a lot. (Maybe you will offer it again???? 🙂 )

Hey Fran… sending you an email about the Time Management freebie 😉
Justin – this video was worth every second for the tip of ^p replace in Word. How many times have I done that by hand!!!!! I can see how this fits so well with the post on Feb 22 for the 5-day mini course. Thank you for being so pragmatic and detailed in your teaching. This is awesome!
